Cannot install win 7, Setup was unable to create a new
Sorry for the bad title =/.
Ive had numerous problems trying to install windows 7 ultimate signature edition (Party Pack). First was BSOD half-way through install, second was windows 7 could not see the hard drive. I fixed those problems throughout the day yesterday.
Now I have this problem when I select the Hard Drive in the setup.
Ive basically got 3 hard drives in my computer:Code:System was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing partition. See the Setup log files for more information
20GB Quantum Fireball
149GB Maxtor 6G160E0 - The one I would prefer to install on.
149GB ATA ST3160811AS - Partitioned into a 103GB Media Partition and 46GB Unallocated space.
Ive tried installing on each partition/hard drive, but everytime I get the same message. Ive also tried formatting al the hardrives via gParted (Live CD) and Win 7 formatter.
Please help!!! I would really like to host my windows 7 party, but without windows 7 it wouldnt really work.

EDIT: Ive managed to fix this problem by doing the following:
1) Format to NTFS in gParted
2) Try to install on the hard drive in Win 7 setup - recieve error message
3) Format partition 2 times
4) Delete partition
5) Create new partition
6) Install works =/
Is this just a fluke, or is there a reason? Ill see how far I get before another error.
